Yes, under certain cases, SR22 can be required in the state of Texas.

According to the Georgia Department of Drivers Services or DDS, And SR22 Form is a form that shows proof of insurance in the future when mentioning drivers license suspension or revocation.

According to Georgia COde under Proof of Financial Responsibility for Probationary License, the proof of financial responsibility must be certified by an authorized insurer proving that the offender has a valid liability insurance policy in effect. The The Financial Responsibility Certificate should include the violator’s name, licnese number and the date of birth.

Also, according to Georgia COde 40-9-81, when the violator is convicted of any offense that resulted in drivers license suspension, his or her drivers license will not be reinstated unless permitted by the department and unless the vilator shows proof of financial responsibility certificated for the future.

You should always include all household members on your application in your car insurance.

With each insurers it is different. Some insurance companies sells insurance policies for different insurance carriers. Some auto insurance application will ask you the appropriate questions to meet the insurer’s guidelines and the state rules/laws.

Insurance companies need to know about all household members because states laws for personal liability sometimes include all household members. So, the insurance company is representing you and covering you so they need to be aware of the entire risk they are protecting.
